Leona's Pizza has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The most recent visit was on Sep 18, 2018. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. Public records show no inspections at Leona's Pizza since Sep 18, 2018, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 15 violations compared to roughly 17 violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” is the recurring theme, flagged eight times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
